Rebekah Springs is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#T1450) practicing in Portland, OR. She specializes in working with neurodivergent children and parents. She is trained in Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) and in DIR/Floortime therapy, a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to working with children, especially those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other sensory processing differences. The work that Rebekah does with individuals, families, and parent-child relationships is influenced by interpersonal neurobiology and current research on attachment theory and mind-body integration.

She loves supporting parents and families as they confront new diagnoses or work through new challenges that come with each stage of development. She’s also an entrepreneur and mom of two– Rebekah owns The Real Work, a small child therapy collective, started a parent support community for parents of neurodivergent kids, and recently acquired a nature-based Pediatric Occupational Therapy Business, Thrive Outside, which she will be growing as well. In her free time she enjoys backpacking, trail running, and playing outdoors with her partner and kids.
